For a less sweet crust, reduce the sugar mixed with the pretzels. Ensure the pretzel crust is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent it from melting. If you prefer fresh strawberries, use approximately 4 cups of sliced fresh strawberries instead of frozen. Add them to the gelatin mixture after it has slightly cooled to prevent them from becoming mushy. For a festive look, garnish with additional fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed pretzels before serving.
